I look at the media, and the people I used to go to school with...and I just feel...
I feel like people here are so trapped in their own bubble they call the world and don't really realize what's truly happening. The other day I watched a clip from Jersey Shore and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Some people seem to always justify things no matter how good of a person they are...you know what I mean?
Now its starting to really irk me. My friend and I are Muslims, and a lot of the Muslim community are not really going to Star Bucks anymore because of the fact that they support a certain army that we're not very fond of.
But since my friend happens to really like their coffee, she 'justified' it by saying, 'oh, well its not like me not buying there is gonna make any difference.' I was mad and said it has nothing to do with that. You wouldn't shop at a grocery store that supported child abuse, would you?
Does any of this make sense? I'm not saying all people are like this, nor am I perfect, but I just want to know if there is someone out there who feels like this. And this is just a tiny bit of how I feel...
I say my biggest flaw is that I am human.
I wish to meet people like...Abraham Lincoln, or...Philippe Petit! What extraordinary people..unlike a celebrity like Snooki or something..no, not nearly as fascinating. Is this also normal??

That being said I still find lots of people who are happy with their lives and actively try making a difference by organizing pro Palestine events and raisin awareness.
It's not all bad. And like ^ said. Relax, were only responsible for ourselves so be happy and don't stress over your Entire generation lol. Hope this helps :)
if this world is to change atall the generation who make this change will suffer alot but the generations after will be free and brought up happy in an equal world i would gladly live in hard times for future freedom
This is probably the best advice I've had in...
Forever, lol.
"Relax.."
I'll do just that!
There are people out there who don't care about Jersey Shore- they just don't get the media attention.

In the holidays my cousins visited and all every evening they wanted to watch "jersey shore" and other programs like that. You have no idea how much it pissed me off. There is nothing more fake than "reality TV" :/
My bubble popped and lost friends.
Now i know the real world
